Update: 2022-04-03
Description
Attending conferences can be a great way to entice a student to finish a project and share their data. But how do we help students get the most out of an often very expensive conference attendance?
In this episode we reminisce about some of our favorite conference moments and discussed:
- Helping introverted students practice networking tools
- Helping students know their "pitch"
- Setting expectations of students for conferences in terms of behavior, networking, and learning new science
- Using the social nature of conferences to get to know your students better
